Hot Takes Inside

Archives: April 2016

A beauty blogger on Bustle.com tried out Wen by Chaz for seven days and shared on facebook her day-by-day experience with readers. Her detailed descriptions of her experience with the product and its ability to fit into her beauty routine are open and honest.
Before relaying her experience, here is some background on the WEN Hair product she used. Wen by Chaz is a sephora approved cleansing conditioner with a 5-in-1 formula. Within one hair product is a shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner, detangler, and leave-in conditioner. Unlike traditional shampoo and other hair products, Wen by Chaz works with hair’s natural oils rather than strip them of moisture. This leaves hair healthier, shinier, and more manageable in a way that no other hair care system has before.

Using Wen hair is the easiest hair care system on the market. Just pump a generous amount of product into your damp hair and massage into your scalp. Continue massaging and move the product throughout the entire hair shaft. Add a splash of water to move the product through the hair. Leave the product on the hair for the rest of the shower. Rinse thoroughly and then enjoy health hair!

The Bustle blogger tried out Wen by Chaz for 7 days — taking a picture of her hair each day. Her first impression was quite positive of the new hair care product. She noticed immediately in the shower that her hair felt thicker, just after applying the product. After blow drying and styling her hair, she noticed that her hair was shinier already.

For a few of the other days, she noticed the softness of her hair made it a little bit flat and it didn’t hold curl as long, but it was certainly healthier. While out to drinks with some friends, several of her friends commented on how shiny her hair was shinier.

Over all she concluded that Wen by Chaz was a great product for people who love to wash and style their hair each day.

If there is one thing that some people learned from the crisis of 2008, it is to look for signs of another crisis and to prepare for the coming crisis. This is what George Soros has done. He has found plenty of signs of an upcoming crisis that can be as bad as the crisis of 2008 if not worse. All of the world markets are in a downfall which can result in another financial downturn that could be worse than the one that the world was devastated by in 2008. George Soros is doing the best he can to provide influence to the ones that are the most able to handle the crisis and keep it from reaching catastrophic levels.

During the first week of the year, the markets of currency on https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/people/george-soros, commodity and stocks have already seen a lot of trouble. China’s economy has also shown signs of crumbling and falling with the yuan currency sinking. As a matter of fact, there were times when the trades in china had to be halted due to plunges in Chinese equity. George Soros has taken note of the problem that China has with adjusting. George Soros has then proceeded to compare the emerging challenges to the challenges of 2008.

George Soros has been giving out warnings of another major catastrophe on http://www.investopedia.com/university/greatest/georgesoros.asp coming to the world since 2011. He sees a problem that has started in Greece. The crisis has been mishandled in a way that has resulted in the overall problem getting worse instead of getting better. There is also the problem with the EU and the attacks on the Ukraine from Russia. The global economies are faced with something very tough to navigate. This is one crisis that could grow into something major if proper action is not taken to prevent this from turning out like that.

Recently Emily McClure from The Bustle did an article about WEN Hair conditioning cleanser. McClure has very fine hair, so she wanted to see how the product was going to work on her hair. McClure decided to use the product for seven days and she documented her experience. On the first day, McClure was happy with the results that she got from the product. She found that even though she had to use a large amount of Wen hair, her hair was not weighed down, and it looked thick and beautiful. On the second day the results were not the same. Her hair did feel a little bit more heavy, and she felt like the product made her hair look greasy.

Over the course of the seven days the results varied with the sephora available product. In all, McClure was happy with the way that her hair turned out. Some friends and family members commented to her about how soft and shiny her hair looked. That made her have more confidence in the product, and it made her believe that the product actually was making a difference in her hair. McClure believes that she will recommend Wen conditioning cleanser to other individuals, and she will keep Wen as a permanent staple in her shower.

Wen conditioning cleanser is a set of cleansers that revolutionizes how individuals do their hair. Many women and men believe that they have to use a shampoo, conditioner, and leave in conditioner, but that does not have to be the case with Wen conditioning cleanser. Wen hair takes the place of a hair conditioner, shampoo, and a leave in conditioner. Wen is also used as a styler, and it is a product that has no parabens, dyes, or chemicals.

The inventor of Wen is Chaz Dean. He is an individual that has worked in haircare for many years. Dean noticed that many of the hair conditioners and cleansers were full of unneeded sulfates and chemicals. These things would leave a person’s hair looking dry and unhealthy. He set out on a course to make a cleansing conditioner that would actually help hair to stay moisturized. That is exactly what he did with Wen conditioning cleanser. Now thousands of individuals have been purchasing WEN Hair from Amazon.

U.S. Money Reserve was recently discussed on Enterprise Radio hosted by Eric Dye. Philip N. Diehl, President of U.S. Money Reserve, discussed the history of this firm, their principles, and the philosophies that contribute to the overall success of the nationÕs largest distributors of government-issued Gold, Silver, Platinum and coins.

When Diehl was asked to discuss his background in the precious metals market, he reminded Eric Dye that he was the Director of the U.S. Mint. During Bill Clinton’s Presidential term he appointed Philip Diehl as Director of the U.S. Mint. Diehl held his position for several years and considered that period of his career to be most rewarding and provided him the background and experience to head the U.S. Money Reserve.

U.S. Money Reserve stands out from its competitors because of the in-depth training provided to the staff, broad knowledge of all the golds in the world and the grades of gold and silver, and the history of precious metals relating to economic challenges around the world. U.S. Money Reserve prides itself on customer service. Their goal is not to acquire clients, but to offer superior service and maintain their client-base for decades to come. Their client base in numbers exceeds several hundred thousand members, and they have the staff and education to maintain their client base. One of DiehlÕs achievements has been the ever-popular 50 States Quarter Program, launching the first-ever U.S. Government-issued platinum coin.

When asked what he felt impacted the gold market over the last two decades, he quickly responded by saying, when people ask him this he focuses on four factors in which US Money Reserve must meet according to a report on PR News Wire. One is the 2008 financial crisis, and it created a lot of fear in the market, and when there is fear in the market, there is a flight to quality and wealth insurance, a store of value. Gold has played that role for thousands of years and it will for many decades and for centuries to come. Secondly a new demand from gold Gold ETF, Electronically Traded Funds.

Another factor is speculation and uncertainty of the direction of monetary policies from Federal Reserves. What ETF gave in the bull market before 2011 it took away in the bear market. The liquidity of ETF led to a lot of volatility in the market accelerating the downturn. Lastly the rising value of the dollar, which is an offset growing demand for gold. People donÕt realize that approximately 65% of the demand for gold are out of China and India.

Investment banking involves a financial institution called an investment bank giving financial services which entail assisting their clients who may be individuals, governments or corporations in raising capital through underwriting or acting as their agent in issuance of securities. The investment bank may also help companies when it comes to mergers and acquisitions. They help the clients in providing ancillary services like market making, FICC services and trading of equity securities and derivatives. Investment banking is different from normal banking by commercial and retail banks as it does not entail taking deposits. Most G7 countries have not drawn a distinction between investment banking and banking done by commercial banks. In the US however, the Volcker rule in being part of the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 clearly stipulates the distinction between the two.

Investment banking has two major lines of business. These lines of business are the sell side and buy side. The former involves trading of securities for other securities or for cash or for the promotion of securities. The buy side on the other hand, involves providing advice to different institutions which buy investment services. Some of the different types of the buy-side entities include mutual funds, unit trusts, life insurance companies, equity funds and hedge funds just to mention but a few. Investment banks can also be divided into public and private functions. In this scenario, there needs to be a Chinese wall to separate the two. This is because of the need to prevent any information from crossing over to either side. The private areas of the investment bank deal with private insider information which may not be disclosed publicly. The public areas on the other hand, such as stock analysis, are left to deal with public information.
One of the investment bankers who has made a name for himself is one Martin Lustgarten. He is originally from Venezuela and Austria but currently lives Florida in one of its most expensive oceanfront communities, Ponte Vedra. He is the CEO and President of Lustgarten, Martin. The company is one of the most recognised investment banks whose headquarters are in Florida. Martin has been able to utilise his investment banking skills to help individuals who have a difficulty in getting access in global trade. He has made a name for himself as a great investment banker with the ability to help investors close big financial offers and acquire capital from alternate sources.

Nicholas Constantinopoulos, the president of FreedomPop, has given an interesting six-minute interview to Mobile World Live, and he discussed interesting facts about the company’s recent venture capital funding.

Recently, FreedomPop raised an additional $50 million in funding. The intentions for the money are varied. Among those intentions is the desire to manufacture a Wi-Fi phone and to create a Wi-Fi hotspot in Europe. All these plans are good ones, but the most dramatic one focuses on the development of a massive 25 country expansion. The proverbial final touches are being put on a deal that would bring FreedomPop into these new territories. The company would end up becoming a global powerhouse as a result. Ironically, the massive financial success of the company would result from saving its customers massive amounts of cash per year.

FreedomPop may be on the way to changing the mobile phone and internet industry forever. FreedomPop was assuredly not the first budget phone to arrive on the telecommunications scene, but the concept of delivering free data, phone, and text helped the Los Angeles-based startup become noticed quickly. After becoming a huge hit in the United States, FreedomPop entered the United Kingdom’s market. As the CEO of FreedomPop, Stephen Stokols, noted in a different interview, the service was a hit in Britain among those looking to cut phone costs. Over 250,000 subscribers signed up in record time. Nearly 45% of them upgraded to paying service. All of this was achieved in only 120 days of FreedomPop’s arrival in the United Kingdom.

Constantinopoulos notes that the company is able to take clients from the free service and convert them to paying ones. Basically, the customers opt to go with expanded services for a fee. In the United States and the United Kingdom, conversions from free to paying services are very impressive. FreedomPop is doing something customers are reacting to positively.

Potential investors and partners are looking closely at FreedomPop’s good fortunes. As long as the firm continues to thrive, more are going to be interested in affiliated with it. FreedomPop will end up growing even larger and more successful as a result.
